Additional Information

The 280 Sundancers styling is crisp - a Sea Ray trademark these days - and the interior makes the most out of available space with berths, decent headroom, a fully galley, and a V-berth that converts into a second dinette.  Built on a deep-V hull with a moderate beam and an integrated swim platform, the Sundancer's curved radar arch is an appealing design touch.  The single-level cockpit is arranged with a sunpad opposite the helm, an aft-facing bench seat, wet bar, and a retractable rear bench seat that folds up into the transom when it's necessary to get into the engine compartment or for more walk around space.  A large storage locker is built into the transom, and molded steps at the helm provide easy access to the walk-thru windshield.

This vessel includes 2 Mercruiser 5.0 EFI 260HP Bravo III engines , Kohler 5.0 kw Generator, Air Conditioning and Heat; Microwave , GPS , TV/VCR combo; Clarion AM/FM CD with 6-disc changer; Vacuflush Head; Windlass, and cockpit cover.
